2008 March

     It was bound to happen. The number of exhibitors from China overtook that from the tiny island of Taiwan. Taiwan this year managed to keep its stance in numbers of Korea. We will be taking a look at some of the premiere companies stepping out into the international scene, not only with well-made products but hefty technolopy IP portfolions in the networking and communications sector. In addition, we will also be featuring some of the new products we saw at CeBIT that did not make it in this month's issue.
